Damn it's been a while since I blogged... And everything seems to have happened in the last week or so.
DevExpress Launch CodeRush Xpress
CodeRush Xpress is a cut down and combined version of CodeRush and RefactorPro which has been made available (through some kind of licensing deal with Microsoft) to all C# developers.
It includes ...
- Duplicate Line
- Highlight All References
- Increase or Reduce Selection
- Smart Clipboard Operations
- Generate from Using (TDD)
- Quick Navigation Window
- Quick File Navigation
…and also include 25 refactorings from RefactorPro including…
- Extract Method
- Flatten Conditional
- Inline Temp
- Introduce Local
- Make Explicit
- Make Implicit
- Move Type to File
- Use String.Format
DevExpress launch CodeRush and RefactorPro 3.2.1
The full change list is here –> http://www.devexpress.com/Support/WhatsNew/NET/IDE.3.2.1.xml but for me the most important change is that the IDE tools appear to be much more stable and performant whilst using less memory. All this despite my turning on Code Issues, a feature that during it’s beta phase… had been known to consume vast swathes of memory.
Several new Refactorings and Code menu items are available including one “Make Extension” which rewrites the chosen method as and extension method whilst doing all the legwork of referencing the correct System.Core.dll, Creating the module and adding the attribute to the method.
Very nice.
CodeRush Plugins

This plugin is a work in progress but is still very serviceable… Although it appears that you currently need to install Gallio
